In the eyes of parents, children will always be a piece of meat on their bodies, they can do everything to love them and protect them, and for children, parents are their strongest backing and dependence. So for parents, a little bit of a child's illness is a kind of torture for them, which also makes them particularly meticulous when taking care of their children. So today I want to take you to understand the problem of baby colic. And what to do when you encounter it?
Infantile colic refers to the sudden loud crying of some small babies, which can last for several hours, or can have paroxysmal seizures. When crying, the baby's face is gradually red, the mouth is pale, the abdomen is swollen and tense, the legs are curled up, the feet are cold, the hands are clenched, and the cuddle and feeding are not relieved, and eventually stop with crying exhaustion, exhaustion or defecation, this phenomenon is often called infantile colic. This is due to the pain caused by strong contractions or flatulence of the smooth muscles of the infant intestinal wall, and is the most common type of acute abdominal pain in children, often occurring at night, most likely in infants under 3 months of age, and is more common in infants who are prone to agitation, excitement and irritability.
When the baby intestinal colic attack, the baby should be held vertically on the shoulder, patted the back to discharge excess air in the stomach, and gently massaged the baby's abdomen with the hand, you can also use a cloth wrapped in a hot water bottle to place the baby's abdomen to relieve the intestinal spasm, if the baby's abdominal distension is severe, then use the pediatric kaiser dew for laxative exhaust, and closely observe the baby, if there is fever, pale face, repeated vomiting, blood in the stool, etc., you should immediately go to the hospital for examination, and can not delay the diagnosis and treatment time.
Feeding techniques can be improved, pating the back after each feeding to help with exhaustion, and giving the newborn a stable emotional environment can reduce the frequency of seizures. If you try various methods to no avail, you can switch to hypoallergenic newborn milk powder, and sometimes you can get good results. Before diagnosing neonatal colic, it must first be ruled out whether there is any obvious pathological cause of his crying, such as other pathological diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastroesophageal reflux, pyloric obstruction, and Hirschsprung's disease. If it is determined that no pathological factors exist, then parents need to be patient with their babies and spend three months of "labor pain".
The resistance of small babies will be relatively weak, so small babies should pay more attention to some problems in daily life, even if it is a small problem, as a parent should be found in time, timely confirmation, so that the baby can grow more healthily, parents can also take care of the baby more at ease. Young parents still have a long way to go on the road of taking care of their children, but as long as they understand more about the baby's problems, I believe that the baby will grow up healthy and happy under the careful care of the parents.
